JUNE 23, 1975 --5-- Mr. Locher said this is possible. He also said this interceptor can be forced by the PCA. Mr. Marier said the cost of this interceptor's construction cannot be passed onto the entire City. This Is not feasible. Mr. Barter felt that the developers have a responsibility and that the Council must wait for the Engineer's plan. Mayor Bohjanen said that if either of the two plans presented to the Council is accepted, it will mean that the Lino Lakes' Comprehensive Land Use Plan must be revised. Mr. Zelinka said Mrs. Peterson had asked the Council to make a decision to accept either Plan No. 1 or 2. He felt without aid, the only feasible plan is number 1. The area to be served must be defined, people who are affected notified, compute the cost,hold a public hearing and proceed from that point. Mr. Zelinka moved to authorize the Engineer to conduct a cost study on ;Ian # 1 also a holding tank in Shenandoah, then to call a public nearing. Mr. Locher noted that if a holding tank is constructed in the Shenandoah area, only the cost of the tank will have to be assumed by the City. The developer will put the lines in the street. This tank would also requrie PCA approval. Mr. Cliff Hagen, Mechanic for the City, said the tanker truck will not service another area. It has a lot of hard miles on it and is in no condition to double the work. Mr. Marier repeated that this is the responsiblity of the developer and he will not support an interceptor that will be assessed against the people who are not receiving services. One lady from the audience said that this has been occuring for three years and she has no intentions of living with the problem any longer. The possiblity of a law suit against the developer has been discussed. This would involve the City who would then be sued by the developer. The City could only enter into a suit against the Metropolitan Council. X>3yor Bohjanen felt that most people do not want to get involved in such a costly and lengthy law suit. This will not solve the problem of no sewers and only delay any action that might have been taken. Mr. Zelinka asked the Clerk to read his motion and added to include the Planner to check the necessary changes that would be required by the Metro- i:olitan Council in the City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Also to compute the costs for Plan No. 2. The motion was seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried.
